NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

ntp-4.2.8p13 was released on 07 March 2019. It addresses 1 medium-severity security issue in ntpd, and provides 17 non-security bugfixes and 1 other improvements over 4.2.8p12.

Are you using Autokey in production? If so, please contact Harlan - he's got some questions for you.

NTP.Users Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the NTP.Users web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest in the NTP.Users web)

Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:

When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFFFC0 .

The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.

You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the NTP engine (Perl scripts).
